At work I was asked by a different team how we can deal with bots, because someone in my team remembered that I knew how to do it.

I reluctantly suggested Anubis because I got shit for it last time, This is the URL https://anubis.techaro.lol/

This is the 2nd and last time I will ever recommend Anubis anywhere at work to deal with bots because of how unprofessional, un-serious and weird others perceive it.

The mascot being a ~10 year old “cutsie” anime cat girl is weird in a work setting.
I will never put myself in a situation again where I have to explain that it’s not weird to anyone again, same for that URL.

What is a professional looking open-source alternative to Anubis?

Edit: No I can’t just send my colleges here https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper The issue is they find the Mascot and domain weird, they will still run into both.

My Goal: Recommend a Open-Source bot protection tool

The Issue: When I send my coworkers to https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper they find the mascot and URL weird.

Result: They don’t see Anubis as a serious tool and turn away from it

      Are you being sarcarstic? because your first answer has more upvotes than my comment, and the answer seems to concur with my comment (and i quote):

      Professionalism = prioritizing getting the job done. These people are incredibly unprofessional.

      that is what i dont understand, you are saying the same thing as me so why response in first place and why are you getting more upvotes? Sorry if i sound very upset but i really dont understand

        They commented for emphasis, they’re agreeing with you. They worded it better so they get more upvotes.

        This isn’t reddit, upvotes don’t matter, don’t worry about it

        Not sarcastic, not sardonic. Just emphasis I think.

        As for the votes, I don’t know what to tell you. But I’m a bit lost, now, too.
